committees/initiatives

​The CBICC utilizes the expertise of its diverse membership on several formal (and informal) committees, groups and special task forces. Through these engagement opportunities, CBICC members are working collaboratively in support of the Chamber's collective mission to strengthen the local economy, and are helping to enhance the value of Chamber membership.

Launched in 2019, ABC Essentials is the CBICC's citizen engagement initiative, with a goal of encouraging Centre County residents to volunteer on municipal authorities, boards and commissions. ABC Essentials is a series of monthly, hour-long presentations designed to explore the many authorities, boards and commissions that are responsible for guiding municipal, county and regional decisions. The full list of upcoming programs is available here.
